Eight names can be drawn from all this excitement to form the first Generation 9 Pokédex. A pokédex that will undoubtedly have to be completed for Olim and Turum, your two new teachers, to discover just below. For now, we’re focusing on the new Pokémon in the Pokédex:

It measures 1.6m and weighs 63kg. It belongs to the category of Pokémon Mount. He may possess the talent Moult. It is described as follows: “This Pokémon has been present in the homes of Paldea since ancient times. He has a gentle temperament and it is not uncommon to see him carrying human beings on his back. This doesn’t seem to bother him at all, as the body heat of the people he carries protects him from the cold. It can run at 120 km/h with a human being on its back. Its extremely robust head and flexible tail not only serve it to keep its balance and absorb shock during its run, they also allow it to attack skillfully. during the fights.“
Two new teachers
For the first time in the history of Pokémon games, your protagonists will be able to meet two different teachers depending on your version of the game. Turum is the teacher of the Violet version while Olim is the teacher of the Scarlet version. Of course, apart from a few lines of dialogue, they shouldn’t offer very different content from one version to another. A question of taste, as often for the choice between the two versions.
What is the release date for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple?
If the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet is a small event for the community of Pokémon players, it is also an important moment for the world of video games. Pokémon has established itself for just over 25 years as a mainstay of pop culture, in every cultural medium imaginable.
